Everything is getting way, way out of control.
Donald Trump is now talking a lot about Ashli Babbitt, and the way the media/intelligence establishment are responding is difficult to process, even for me.
Andrew McCabe just went on TV to defend the cop who murdered Ashli, and to denounce Donald Trump for saying he shouldn’t have done that.
Business Insider:
Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe on Thursday blasted former President Donald Trump for “threatening law enforcement” in calling for “justice” against the Capitol Police officer who killed insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt on January 6.
During an appearance on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” McCabe told anchor Jim Acosta that Trump’s comments regarding the Capitol Police were “incredibly dangerous.”
“We know this for a fact. It is not something we are theorizing about,” he said. “We have seen before the impact that the president’s words have on his most die-hard and emotional supporters.”
He added: “We have seen an attempted bombing plot by a domestic extremist who was arrested some years ago who said he was following the directions of President Trump. We all saw the insurrectionists on January 6th acting what many of them had said, they thought they were following his direction.”
In a Wednesday statement, Trump lauded Babbitt, who was killed by a law-enforcement officer as she attempted to climb through a broken window to access the Speaker’s Lobby during the Capitol riot.
“I spoke to the wonderful mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was murdered at the hands of someone who should have never pulled the trigger of his gun,” Trump said. “We know who he is. If this happened to the ‘other side,’ there would be riots all over America, and yet there are far more people represented by Ashli, who truly loved America, than there are on the other side.”
He added: “The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!”
I’m not even going to do “but I thought all cops were evil racists tho?”
We are way, way beyond Fox News snark now, folks.
Really – I can’t even believe this is real.
Andrew McCabe being on TV at allis actually difficult to process, but CNN bringing him on to defend Ashli Babbitt’s killer in such explicit terms, to say that attempting to hold the murderer accountable for his actions, is a “threat” – it’s just totally beyond the pale.
I’m telling you plainly, as someone who has been involved in this for a long time: what is going on right now does not feel real to me. It feels surreal or maybe hyperreal, something like an acid trip or a lucid dream.
It’s two fold, what gets me: how bold it is and how fast it is moving.

It's interesting how you capitalized 'He' when referring to Donald Trump. Who do you think he is?
